Celestial Dreams Guide

Estimated Time: 2-3 Hours

1

Prepare the Base

Using your 9-10 inch embroidery hoop, separate the inner and outer rings. We will use the inner ring.

  • Secure one end of your neutral yarn to the hoop with a dab of glue.
  • Wrap the yarn tightly around the entire circumference. No wood should show.
  • Secure the end with glue.
lightbulb Tip: Keep tension tight! Loose yarn will sag over time.

Create the Ornaments

For the Celestial theme, we are making stars and moons.

cut

Cut 2 pieces of felt for each shape (e.g., 2 yellow stars, 2 blue moons).

gesture

Sew edges with embroidery floss using a blanket stitch. Leave a small 1-inch gap.

cloud

Lightly stuff with poly-fill batting. Don't overstuff; keep them light.

Assembly & Balancing

This is the trickiest part. Balance is key.

  1. Cut 4 long strings (24") for the main hanger. Tie them equidistantly (12, 3, 6, 9 o'clock) to the hoop. Bring them together at the top and tie a secure loop knot.
  2. Cut varying lengths of string for your ornaments (short, medium, long) to create visual interest.
  3. Thread the string through the top of your felt ornaments using a needle. Secure with a knot.
  4. Tie ornaments to the hoop. Lift the mobile frequently to check if it tilts. Adjust positions to balance the weight.
